"We the undersigned feel enormous gratitude for the sacrifice made by all the Canadian Armed Forces through the ages in defence of this country and its values; acknowledge the very special nature of the sacrifice made by those who fought in the First World War in appalling conditions and with terrible loss of life; note that only three First World War veterans remain; and urge the Prime Minister that their sacrifice, and all of those they served with under arms from 1914-1918, be celebrated by offering a state funeral to the family of the last veteran of the First World War resident in Canada."

They gave a lot so we could enjoy the freedom we have, so they deserve everything we can do for them.

My Grandfather took part in W.W. 1, my Father & 2 uncles served in W. W. 2, for them, & all others this is the "least" that shold be done.

This is a truly wonderful opportunity to say thank you to the families of the last fallen First World War veteran from fellow Canadians. It is also only appropriate to do the same for the last veteran of the Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (conflict) and any other conflicts that are of the magnitude of these.
Lest we forget.

This should not even be a question, it should be a given that we Canadians should honor each and everyone of our fallen soldiers

It is the right thing to do to have a state funeral for the last survivor of the First World War. After all, we made our mark as a nation at Vimy Ridge.

Of course there should be a state funeral for the last veteran.

I think anyone who has put their life on the line for our country so that we can live like we do needs to be honoured.
